PHILADELPHIA | 412 N 2nd Street | 260 FT | 23 FLOORS

TOO SHTREET

Title: 412 N 2nd Street
Project: Residential/Ground floor retail
Architect: Morris Adjmi
Developer: National Land Development
Location: 412 North 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA
District: Center City
Neighborhood: SoNo (Southern Northern Liberties)
Floors: 23 Floors
Height: 260 Feet






23-Story, 397-Unit Tower Planned at 2nd and Callowhill

The strip on 2nd Street between Spring Garden and Callowhill is in for a major transformation. In this part of town, 2nd Street is bordered on the east side by the Interstate 95 offramp and a bunch of industrial buildings on the west side. These couple of blocks, and especially the intersection of 2nd and Callowhill, are ruled by the automobile. As a pedestrian, try walking from the west side of 2nd Street towards the river. It’s a real life game of Frogger.

There are currently no plans for road diets at the intersection, but the northwest corner is in for a big change. National Real Estate Development, the group who recently redeveloped a large swath of East Market, along with Kushner Real Estate Group plan on building a 23-story tower at 412 N. 2nd Street, the location of an old distribution center.

The tower will rise 244 feet tall (260 feet to the top of the bulkhead) and will include 397 residential units. 20,400 square feet of commercial space and 106 parking spaces will also be included in the development. 10,692 square feet of the commercial space will be located in an adaptively reused section of the existing building.

One of the most interesting pieces of this project is the reopening of American Street through the property and the additional public space included in the development. A programmed, pedestrian-focused street will run between the section of the old building on the west side of the street and the tower podium on the east side of the site. Both sides of the street will be lined with commercial spaces. Although this street will be geared towards pedestrians and bicyclists, automobiles will still be allowed access to the road.

I like the design for this building, but isn't this area more callow hill then the Northern Liberties?

It's... complicated. See our debate in the Highrise thread:

Haha. There was just a debate about this in the Highrise thread. Like many Philly neighborhoods, the boundaries are up for debate.

I also don't call this area Northern Liberties, as I believe NoLibs has Spring Garden as it's southern border.

Others felt like Callowhill or "the Loft District" ends at 8th Street.

I proposed calling this area SoNo (for Southern Northern Liberties) and making a brand new neighborhood out of it entirely, since this area if/when it builds up, will be all new, dense, mostly highrise and midrise development and will have an entirely different feel than NoLibs and Callowhill.

SoNo is so very, Sex in the City. Also, this acronym in particular opens itself up for critique. What if something bad happens here? It could come to mean something like "Soooo Not Going there". So not good, etc.

If we're going to use directional acronyms, I prefer something like NoCa. North of Callowhill (Street).

Before the city consolidation in 1854, this area was Northern Liberties. SoNo as cringey as it is...kind of feels historically right.

and after 1854 consolidation, this area was still Northern Liberties:

So, is NoLibs Township “NoNo?”

Renderings Make Expected Southern Northern Liberties Projects Feel More Real

BTW.

This one is Morris Adjmi architects (which I suspected from the render). The Spring Garden project is Handel.

The developers (as of this point) own every lot on 2nd with the exception of the Desimone building.

Plan is to re-store N American Street between Callowhill and Noble for now. All the way to Spring Garden if they get the Desimone property.

The Spring Garden building is proposed with an internal courtyard and pedestrian path that would connect from the north.

Looks like this is actually 260'.

^^ Honestly theres so little room to make it appealing to pedestrians, but i think making it a mural/arts hotspot would be cool, painting the pillars, those Neon lights would work, even doing some form of occasional market there would be cool too. With unlimited funds id say put shups into those retaining walls and widen the sidewalkswith trees, and paint the sidewalks/streets to look pretty.
